Wandering and roaming,
Life is a wandering journey.
A sheltering cage, a nest,
O my gentle flower.
Drawing close and looking,
Drawing close and looking,
This heart, oh this heart.
We may grow closer day by day,
Could these bonds ever drift away?
Wandering and roaming,
Life is a wandering journey.
A sheltering cage, a nest,
O my gentle flower.
Wandering and roaming,
Life is a wandering journey.
A sheltering cage, a nest,
O my gentle flower.
Drawing close and looking,
Drawing close and looking,
This heart... oh this heart.
Come, even though you have grown,
You... you still live like a child.
O girl, with eyes that speak,
Delighting in the words you speak,
Whose ears wouldn't answer back?
Is it friendship, my friend?
With the gentle glance you cast,
Becoming like innocent children,
Even a hard rock turns tender,
Wouldn't it long for such love?
